The EAGLE Wreck.

BosroN, April IA special to the Jour
ma from St. Johns, N. F., says: 1.-THE
steamer Eagle was last seen by the steamer
Aurora on the night of the 18th, near
Funk's Island. A terrible sea was running
at the time. The next morning the Aurora
could find no trace of the Eagle, and 9TH
ing has been seen of the ill-fat"d vessel
since. A message from Grecupord. about
100 miles from here, saysthat Light House
Keeper Cabnt had boarded the Sc ling
steamers Vanguard and Hect. Both those
vessels are reported as passing spars, Il fore
castle. and a board bearing the name Eagle
near the spot where she Was last seen.
Light House Keeper Cabot is a reliable
man, and from his knowledge of affairs
there and the fact that the Eagle has not
been seen since the 18th, while other vessels
OF the fleet have been spoken to every few
days, it is universally believed that the
vessel. with her 26O souls on board, was
driven On the terrible reefs SO numerous in.
side Funk's Island, that the sea broke her
up; and that she probably sank imme-
diately with her so seaman on deck and
21O seal fishers below. The sea that swept
the coast that night was the worst ever
witnessed by old sealers GU board other
vesaels.'

It seems that Washington Territory is in
great want Of manageable girls. The
lonely farmers up there have sent out an
appeal for women, and a recent carload OF
Eastern ladies, who had heard OF the won-
derful success of some young women who
had opened farms OF their own in the wild
West, concluded that they would also try
their hands at agriculture. They reached
Olympia, and from thence went to Delta,
where, within t%wenty-four hours after their
arrival. twelve were prosperously married,
and the rest engaged to handsome young
farmers. No unnecessary time is spent in
counting. All the young lady hast do to
look over a group OF eIigibles and select her
partner, and in ten minutes the knot is
tied. It's a lovely country, and from a
feminine point OF view the customs are
charming.

In considering the enormous Custom
House collections OF the last fiscal year,
amounting to 1888. 49,. 1854. and the
constantly improving results OF the current
year. our contemporaries fail to give due
credit to the augmentation consequent
upon Democratic reform administration.
Democratic enforcement OF the law may
for a time decrease revenues by reducing
the mount of imports, but notwithstand.
ing this source Of decrease, the general re-
suit Of impartial enforcement OF the law
is highly satisfactory to the Treasury and
the public. OF course the differentiation.
lists and their organs and sympathizers
are doing their utmost to distort the sta
tistics 50 as to prevent due credit being
given to the administration and to dis
courage perseverance in strict adherence to
the statutes.-New York State.

Dillon Boom.

We are indebted to Messrs. Curtis & Ma
jors for information that a company is
now being organized this city for the pur-
pose OF building some very handsome struc-
lures at Dillon who have subscribed $15,-
900 cash for stock in the company. A
meeting of the company was held last even
ing at the office OF Curtis & Majors for the
purpose of e~lecting directors who will or
gsnize under the laws of the Territory.
When the work now in contemplation is
completed Dillon will assume the tone and
dignity OF a growing city, and the boom
thus given her will insure her substantial
prosperity. Manager Mcguire plays one OF
his companies there next week at Poindex-
ter's Hall and has made a proposition to
have accommodations among the new
buildings in Dillon for an opera house. One
of those to be put up is a two-story struc-
ture with stores on the first floor and a
hall above. suitable for theatrical and SINH
lar enterta inments.

The report y hich was circulated by East.
erH nAvssapers a few days ago that the
Indians at Tongue River Agency are starv-

the Office of the Indian L commission. 1t is
positively asserted that ra>.'ons have been
issued with great regularity. aNd Tor proof
OF this the fact that no trouble HIS occur

from Tongue River, if the bureau may be
believed, is that the savages have grown 50

The appointment of c.. W. Pope as
Deputy Clerk and Recorder in the place OF
T. E. Booth, resigned, was approved.
In view OF the fact that the late Legisla-
ture has increased the duties of the County
Clerk and Recorder to such an extent that
the present force is insufficient, and that
there are severe penalties attached to the
nonperformance of such duties, in Justice to
the Clerk and Recorder it was ordered that
he be allowed another deputy. at a salary
not to exceed 500 per month.

seconded by w. f. Hall that the contract
for doing the printing for the county for
the next year from date be awarded the
Inter Mountain Publishing Company at
rates not to exceed the maximum allowed
by law.
The motion was amended by w. H.
Young, which was seconded by Leopold F.
Schmidt. that when the contract with the
Inter Mountain expires the contract for
doing the printing for the county be award
ed The MINER Publishing Company from
that time until the third Monday in De-
cember. 1888, at rates not to exceed the

1t seems the inventive mind OF Europe is
constantly engaged in considering the best
and most expeditions methods of whole
sale slaughter. 1t is said the new French
explosive, "melenite," is so powerful that
no fortifcation or iron clad ship can resist
it's force, and that the newly invented Ger
man "roburite' is fully it's equal in terrific
power. If these statements be true war
will be converted into a CHASTITY horror be-

Don't Overwork the Bow,

Farmers are sometimes very inconsiderate
in the treatment Of their sons. Without
meaning any harm they impose labor upon
boys which should be the work Of men. Now
the physical energies of a growing boy have
already an important work allotted to them,
that OF building up a strong, healthy organi-
cation. The vital force cannot be exerted in
making muscles and bone, and at the same
time DO expended in a hard days work in the
cornield. We have seen many instances of
boys being stunted and dwarfed because they
were overworked by an unconscious father.
When work is crowding in the fields there is
q strong temptation to utilize every muscle,
to provide means for the growing hogs at the
expense OF his own growing boy. This is
all wrong. A farmer would not for an in
slant think of Harvesting his G-months old
colt and hitching him to a pillow, and why
should not the growing boy have the same
thoughtful consideration Don't overwork
the boys. They are all the material we have
to make men of.-Atlanta Constitution.

to see what amount OF money it will b.
necessary to raise to buy the property for
a site, and to build thereon such a hall as
the society needs. They will report at an

and in the meantime will endeavor to as

In this windy weather everyone should
he careful about fires. Although Butte has
an excellent and efficient fire department,
it cannot compass the impossible. With
the high winds prevailing the subduing OF
a fire in the locality of the many combusti-
bic buildings in the city may be classed
among the impossibilities. Too much pre-
caution cannot be taken against the de-
~vouring elements.
